One of Finnmarksløpet's absolute veterans is Arne Karlstrøm from Langfjorden outside Alta. He had only 8 dogs left when he arrived the checkpoint in Varangerbotn a little past 2:30 this afternoon.

- It was not planned like this, this was really quite sad. If I loose one more dog I have to quit, so we'll be going nice and slow from here, Arne says.

Arne wants to get to the finish line and does not want to quit at all. This is his 15th race, and of course it would be sad to have to quit.

Arne is still very happy with his trip.

- Fantastic trail and real Easter weather. If my dogs had moved a bit better this would have been perfect. But I wonder what Harald has given his dogs - can it be airplane gasoline?
